The M60 Patton is a main battle tank (MBT) introduced in December 1960. With the US Army’s deactivation of their last (M103) heavy tank battalion the M60 became the Army’s primary tank during the Cold War. Although developed from the M48 Patton the M60 series was never officially classified as a Patton tank but as a product improved descendant of the Patton series.
